Since giving birth to my twins 3 years ago I started suffering from hayfever during the month of May . I get very itchy ears, mouth/ throat , itchy and watery eyes and watery nose . Suddenly I got a feeling of tightness in my chest and started coughing and wheezing . Sometimes when I sneeze or cough I get a taste of blood in my mouth. I am 32 years old, 59kgs and 163cm tall.

Hi Ruth,
Thanks for writing in.
I understand your concern.
In case of allergies, the management comprises of several parts. First is control of symptoms. The symptoms can be controlled in your case with Tablet Cetrizine 10 mg once a day. If you have significant amount of breathlessness, speak with your physician about taking inhaled corticosteroids. we should also be looking at drugs like monteleukast and sodium cromoglycate in your case which would help a lot. This may have to be started just before May and continued till the season gets over. If you are getting the taste of blood in your mouth, I would suggest you get a CT scan and see a pulmonologist. I would like to rule out a lung disease definitely. Also, steam inhalation and warm saline gargles would help.
Please see your physician. I am sure you can start feeling better very soon.
Regards
